Brozovic joined Inter on an initial 18-month loan deal in the 2015 winter window and his form for the Serie A giants convinced Roberto Mancini to tie him down on a permanent basis this summer.

The centre midfielder starred in 35 encounters for Inter in all competitions last season scoring seven goals and providing five assists as he helped the country giants earn a place in next season’s Europa League.

The midfielder who signed a three-year deal in June’s form saw him earn a place in Ante Cacic’s European Championships squad where he started three times for his country.
